A mechanic was removing a cylinder-head from the motor of a Harley
motorcycle when he spotted a well-known cardiologist in his shop.
The cardiologist was there waiting for the service manager to come take a
look at his bike when the mechanic shouted across the garage "Hey Doc, want
to take a look at this?"

The cardiologist, a bit surprised, walked over to where the mechanic was
working on the motorcycle. The mechanic straightened up, wiped his hands on
a rag and asked, "So Doc, look at this engine. I open its heart, take the
valves out, repair any damage, and then put them back in, and when I
finish,
it works just like new. So how come I make $55,000 a year and you get the
really big bucks, say $1,700,000 a year, when you and I are doing
basically the same work?"

The cardiologist paused, smiled and leaned over, then whispered to the
mechanic... ''Try doing it with the engine running." --

shop pricing, and sticker shock!
